Passing through is not a simple matter

A planet similar to Earth, its area is seven time the Earth, and the ratio between sea and land is almost a 7:3…

The youngster looked at the 3D image of a planet that was floating in front of him and said: “This is the world where I have to pass through?”

“That’s right! My specially made planet.”

“Specially made? What do you mean?” The youngster asked somewhat baffling.

“This planet is a western fantasy style according with the novels, in simple terms, is a planet where the organisms are in the middle of their evolution and some gave birth to wisdom. Even if there are two types of species, they will slowly eliminate each other, but in this planet, in order to imitate the western fantasy style, I deliberately had many species survive …”

The youngster interrupted ‘Glasses Panda’ and said: “Wait, you said in accordance with the western fantasy style novels, don’t tell me… you made it from the beginning.”

“Bingo!” ‘Glasses Panda’ loving to joke said: “It’s not entirely like the beginning of those novels, the planet was modeled from the fantasy of what all the human race has dreamed, generally speaking, it’s the synthesis of the idea of the masses.”

“But evolution requires at least hundreds of thousands of years of time, that the starting point is such… Forget! You’re a ‘God’, ah!” The youngster laughed at himself.

Stretching his body, ‘Glasses Panda’ with pride said: “I know what are you thinking, the evolution requires a long time, but I have to merely create a planet and put it in another space with accelerate flow of time. Then it will only take several years to complete the evolution of those species that otherwise would have need several hundred thousand years.”

“Oh!” The boy nodded and said: “Don’t discuss those profound problems, go to the main point, a question.”

“Tell me!”

“Do you still watch Ikkyū-san?” (TN: An anime, more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikky%C5%AB-san)

“Of course, and I still think it’s good.”

…After a short awkward silence, the youngster raised his finger and said: “Panda, you are letting me go to another world, so you have already prepared another body to throw me in, or you will resurrect me into a dead body?”

As if ‘Glasses Panda’ were quite embarrassed answering the question, after moving away his vision for moment, he said: “In fact… I have not determined yet about how you are going to pass through.”

Seeing the change of the youngster’s complexion to a one very ugly, ‘Glasses Panda’ hits the ground and said: “Is that… I wanted to hear your ideas, we can discuss this issue in depth.”

“That’s easy, right now I’m in soul form, so you only need to give me a strong body! The appearance must be handsome and elegant, as for strength… The enmo martial double cultivation, so I can kill a dragon with bare hands, in addition several dozen of million in assets, it would be the best if you can make a beautiful princess of a big country fell in love with me, and of course if you can also strengthen “that aspect” too… Otherwise I will be unable to use my lower body to fight for the world… I forgot this, don’t forget to give me several mysterious artifacts, and sacred devices kind…”

At one hand, the youngster passed a extremely big pile of ‘reasonable’ requests for when passing through, and in the other hand, ‘Glasses Panda’ was listening absent-minded for a long time before spitting some words: “A fart I will let you pass through, ah, I might as well go directly to the internet to find some generic and unrivaled passing through otherworld novel and I would have finished, shit! You always said that the most annoying is the invincible type b protagonist, isn’t that right?”

“It’s one thing to read a novel and it’s another if you really pass through, who doesn’t want to become as strong as possible when passing through.” The youngster not agreeing with him said with a smile.

‘Glasses Panda’ also had no choice but to nod in agreement: “If you want a formidable body, I can give you one, however I will have to restrict you!”

“A restriction?” The youngster inclined his head and looked toward ‘Glasses Panda’: “So it will not be turned into the kind of meeting a strong opponent, or the strong meet weak, (note 1) that kind of inferior product.”

“Oh! You can rest assured, I will restrict your power to a certain extent, if not, you could sweep around the world and that would be very boring!”

“You’re saying that I would be invincible in a fixed range, and leaving the place would be out of the question?”

“Correct, but it’s not that it would be out of the question going outside of your range, rather, you will not be able to leave the place. I will give you some restriction in your range of action, and as it should be, I will give you some missions and those will let you expand your range of activities as long as you complete them. It’s not like I want to make it difficult for you, I just that I hope that you don’t use violence blindly or strength to settle the problems. By restricting you, I merely wishing for you to use strategies.”

“Don’t say that, in fact, there still a more important issue that you need to resolve!” The youngster waved his hands and said.

“Please say!”

“It’s the… spirit… How can I describe it?”

The youngster seemed somewhat distressed thinking what to say: “Panda, you already know that I’m merely a person who has less than twenty years of life, my mental capacity, my spirit,,, What I mean is that after passing through, I’m afraid that it would be hard for me to adapt to the environment of this new world.”

“You can talk in more detail?”

“It’s simple, if a modern man is thrown back into ancient times, maybe they will be unable to adapt to their lifestyle. I will be a man who passed through an unfamiliar world, completely alone, I will not have a friend to rely, a stranger in a strange land. I’m afraid that my spirit… will not be able to hold.”

“So what are you saying that you could get is a mental disorder!” ‘Glasses Panda’ said with a playful tone.

“Certainly, you think when suddenly a person pass through another world, he will be like the protagonist of those YY novels, and will give a big roar, oh!!! God-bye my past life, hello beautiful younger sisters of another world, now come here and kiss your husband, that type of silly words?”

The youngster said those words quite excited: “I can promise you that if I were alone, and suddenly I was sent to a forest of another world, perhaps after a few days my spirit will broke, or maybe I will look for some branch and I will hang myself so I can resolve the problem.”

‘Glasses Panda’ was covering his mouth from letting out his laugh.

“I understand you, is indeed as you said, a ordinary person’s spirit will suddenly break and it will be no possible to adapt to that passing through kind of type. But I can help you to resolve that problem!”

“How?” The youngster asked with both hands folded in his waist.

“It’s very simple, I will strengthen your mental awareness, this will let you reinforce your spirit endurance capacity.” While saying that, ‘Glasses Panda’ points his finger towards the youngster’s forehead.

“Wait a minute!” The youngster quickly evaded Panda’s evil claws and said: “You said you will strengthen my spirit, but that kind of thing… Uh… I mean, if you strengthen my spirit, then, after, my personality and my memory will not… be considered mine anymore?”

After stopping his action, ‘Glasses Panda’ hurriedly explained: “You can rest assured, you’ll be still you. When I said that I will strengthen your spirit it doesn’t mean that it will alter your personality or memories. To give you an example, is like when some people is born with acrophobia but some day because of a little stimulation they are completely cured. Being afraid of the heights and being fearless are two different things, it doesn’t mean that he is not himself.”

“Spirit… If it’s like that, then I have to trouble you!” The youngster nodded, at last he felt a little relieved.

“Feel relieved, if I really wanted to alter your memory, then you will not have been aware.”

“Then why didn’t you just alter my memories to begin with, and let me pass through directly.”

“In that case, that person it would be not you?” ‘Glasses Panda’ tone changed to a soft one: “And I don’t want to do that to my friend, I respect your feelings and your freedom.”

…Hearing ‘Panda’ talking, the youngster stay blankly without muttering a word.

“Thanks…”

‘Glasses Panda’ was laughing embarrassingly without saying anything, he only placed his finger on the youngster’s forehead, and then a faint light of light. The youngster felt only a warm flow going through his body, even when touching his forehead, he didn’t feel anything strange.

“That’s all? I didn’t feel anything.”

“Relax, there is not problem!”

“Good! But i still have a problem!” Somewhat embarrassed, the youngster said: “Generally speaking, when you pass through another world it’s inevitably that you end up killing someone, and don’t talk about killing… I can’t even kill a fish. The most bloody event that happened to me is killing a cockroach. If I really run into a fight and so on, I think, that even if I’m killed by other it will be improbable that I will fight back. Can you help me with that?”

“It’s the same situation, once I strengthen your spirit, I will carefully explain to you so you can dispel your worries.” Looking at the youngster, ‘Glasses Panda’ said every word seriously: “You’ll still feel pain after I strengthen your spirit, it’s only that your endurance capacity towards pain will increase, your perception towards bloody things will reduce, but in that way there is a possibility that you will become very blood-thirsty and cold. Of course, that will depend of your personality, experience and the ability to adapt.”

The youngster nodded in understanding, he understand what ‘Panda’ is saying, the environment makes the person’s nature! But as long as he remains being himself, he will continue to be.

OK! The youngster clapped his hand and stood up: “That should be no problem, now you have to help me to create a new body.”

‘Glasses Panda’ pondered for a bit and suddenly with excitement said: “I don’t have to bother myself in create a new body, I will let you possess a body. I just though about a very suitable candidate.”

“A suitable candidate? I don’t want to be a natural waste young master kind of some big clan.”

“You really take a big pleasure in mocking.” ‘Glasses Panda’ says while laughing bitterly: “I can guarantee that is your type of favorite character.”

Afterwards, ‘Glasses Panda’ waved his hand and a magnificent figure was displayed in the center of the platform…

An ancient dragon——Yalin! In the extremely cold Yanuode mountains, the lord dragon clan leader, once active in the dragon war, a terrible existence. Even though it doesn’t have the title of Dragon God, the owner in some ways possess a power beyond the Five Dragon Gods… Once more, it stood in the world structure, in the middle of the dragon war, it even killed several Gods. It’s terrible power has long been the nightmare for others dragons. However, at the end Yalin lost and had to retreat to the depths of the Yaunode mountains. Along with pass of the time, this ancient dragon has long been forgotten by the common people in a corner of the world…

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

At this moment, the youngster seemed to be very excited, after all he didn’t think his new body would be a real dragon, and by the information Panda gave, that dragon is still an extremely powerful dragon. Compared with the normal body of the humanity, indeed, it’s really attractive. The youngster happily raised his thumbs towards ‘Glasses Panda’ idea.

“I’m already ready to give you some limits.” ‘Glasses Panda’ rubbed his nose and spoke right after: “Considering that your range of action where you can use your strength is fixed, I will entrust you with the ability to create life. As your strength is restricted, you will be able to create life to help you complete your affairs. Your new body, the white dragon lord, Yalin, possess a huge knowledge and experience, so after you enter inside, you will be able to read everything it experienced inside its mind. It will help you to understand the general situation in the new world in the fastest time possible.”

The youngster nodded in understanding and said: “So it’s similar to the summoning technique, similar to the novels where they summon different types of armed forces to fight, right?”

“That’s right! These creature that you will summon are not limited by your strength, but they will be similarly restricted. As for how summon, I will give you a system. How you will operate the system is quite simple, you can treat it in the same way as a real-time strategy game. Besides, I guarantee that the degree of freedom is unusually high, and is absolutely unlikely to be inflexible.”

“Thanks.”

“You can summon every kind of creature to appear in that fantasy world, no matter if it’s a dragon, human, spirits, globins, even giants! Especially those characters of the games you play…”

“Even the characters of every serie in 《Heroes of Might and Magic》?” The atmosphere was lively, the youngster happily asked.

“Of course! Not only this system will let you summon without stop, it also can be exchanged for a variety of resources and goods…” Saying that, ‘Glasses Panda’ looked somewhat troublesome and said: “I’ll give you a little assistant inside of this system, so you will be able to ask him about the detailed questions and so on. Now I will use a method to insert the system inside of your mind.”

Even knowing that ‘Glasses Panda’ is an omnipotent god, the youngster can’t help but to be amazed by the power to create life. Suddenly the youngster thought about something important, perhaps it’s the dream of every otaku whether male or female that loves anime, comic and games. The youngster was almost near Glasses Panda’s ear and with a small voice said: “I want to ask you something, can I summon… those characters…”

“Characters from anime?” ‘Glasses Panda’ listened with his head in a twisted angle pondering about it.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed appearance of ‘Glasses Panda’, the youngster was somewhat worried, but with the present display of strength the youngster doesn’t believe that ‘Panda’ can’t do it.

“You really want to meet with some imaginary characters?” ‘Glasses Panda’ suddenly changed his expression and with a wicked grin said: “Or perhaps you are preparing yourself to start in a big way?”

Seeing Panda’s wicked smile, the youngster breathed a sigh of relief: “What most displeases me are the protagonists, you should have known for a long time about my preferences.”

“Don’t be so serious, it was only a joke.” Glasses Panda’ shrugged his shoulders and said: “You really didn’t think about my proposal? Think about it, no matter if is PLANT’s pink princess of 《Gundam Seed》, the lolis of 《Mahō Sensei Negima!》or the King Arthur of 《Fate/stay night》…”

“All right! Don’t say more.” The youngster extended his finger to stop the unceasing gabbling of ‘Glasses Panda’ and said: “I think that I would like to summon characters from anime because I like their character and its behavior. If is possible I would like to go to other world with them. Making exotic friends, going to exotic places, eating exotic food, that’s the most romantic thing for me, instead of everyday rushing to rule the world, snatching other people’s woman, what God, what sovereign king and so on, what a joke.”

Listening the youngster’s words, ‘Glasses Panda’ was speechless. The youngster lowered his voice and continue to speak: “I just said that I only want you to give me a formidable power, in fact, even if you give what I want I will not abuse it. I only want to be a tourist passing through the world, for me, browsing through the beautiful scenery is absolutely better than fighting everyday, plotting against each other in the court.”

“It’s because of this that I wanted to communicate with you for a long time.” Listening to the youngster’s words, ‘Panda’ can’t help but nod in admiration: “Everyone has a pure dream, a person has resolved to be an incorruptible official when he was young, but when he has the power in his hands he will not necessarily stick to his dreams, absolute power corrupts people. That’s why, when I give you an absolute power, can you guarantee that you will not misuse your power for your own needs?”

“I’m not a saint and neither a god, therefore the answer is… no!” The youngster answered honestly.

“Good, I’m satisfied with your answer!”

‘Glasses Panda’ resembled a child when he was clapping his hands so earnest: “Summoning characters from anime is very simple. When every human creates a story, a fictional character, is a tantamount to create a new parallel world. I just need to simulate those worlds and open a door, then it will possible to bring these characters to this world…”

“But there is a problem, right?”

‘Glasses Panda’ nodded and said: “The problem is that those characters have already a soul given by their authors! In other words, I can’t guarantee these summoned characters will be completely loyal to you…”

“They will be not absolutely loyal to me? In other words you mean that apart of them, other creatures that I summon will be loyal to me?” The youngster confused asked.

“I will give you an explanation.” ‘Panda’ cleared his throat and said: “Originally when I summon those creatures, they have been set to become become 100% loyal to you, regardless what happens, even if you issue an unreasonable order they will absolutely comply. But if you want to summon characters from anime, then I cannot guarantee they will do what you want. The reason is that in those anime, the characters has been given a personality and a set of values by their original creators. For example, in 《Fate/stay night》, the chivalrous knight, Saber, will behave in a honest way, but towards a evil order, like kidnaping, assassination or steal, she will put a strong resistance. And in the same way a evil character will disdain extremely to obey straightforward and upright orders… Do you understand now?”

“I fully understand what you say.” The youngster nodded his head and said: “You can’t force them to be loyal to me?”

“It’s possible, but then I will need to change their system of values, don’t tell me… You want to see Saber become evil, and a evil person become straightforward and upright?” ‘Glasses Panda’ shooked his head and said: “You absolutely don’t want that, after all, for you, those are not the characters you want, because they would be a stranger with the same appearance and nothing more.”

The youngster understand completely the intention of ‘panda’, and of course he doesn’t want to do that, but still he didn’t want to give up: “Even if they aren’t loyal to me, it doesn’t matter, I just want more comrades to share the journey and the experience, to feel this world along with them. I don’t care if they are loyal or not.”

“Since you insist…” Towards the youngster, ‘Glasses Panda’ reflected for a short moment and said: “Understood! I will take care of that, and also help you!”

Saying that, ‘Glasses Panda’ suddenly made disappear the platform, and the again in less than five seconds appears front of the youngster. The youngster with curiosity asked: “What happened to you?”

“It took some time to help you setting the way to summon the anime characters.”

“It was less than five seconds.” The youngster reminded him.

“You think it’s was only five seconds! Actually, I compressed the almost five years I’ve used.”

Five years! The youngster twitched his mouth hardly believing at ‘Panda’.

Then, ‘Glasses Panda’, seriously said: “Listen, I will say it only once! I will try my best to change the setting so all the character you summon will not betray you or injury you, only they will have a certain degree of good impression towards you. If you can win their friendship they will recognize you as their most trusted friend and master. But if your actions are against their ideas or personalities, they will change to be unusually cold towards you. They will resist to some of your orders and they may be not willing to carry them or even obstruct your actions. That’s the limit of what I can do, and how do you will get along with them is your problem.”

Listening to those words, the youngster nodded and with a smile said: “This is already enough, thanks.”

“Because humanity has created too many fictional characters and worlds, just your brain has recorded a countless amount of information, later on I will update your summon system. After you pass through, you can give the detailed questions or the question you want to ask me to your design assistant.” ‘Glasses Panda’ said waving his hand.
